I am very excited for the game. Will be staying up tonight to play ;)

Is it a definite midnight release? I have it pre-loaded on Steam so really just waiting for it to be unlocked.

Its a definite midnight if you are in the EST time zone:

A Slight Clarification...

posted by Shawn @ 08:41PM on November 13, 2009

Due to an ongoing debate in the office and online as to whether "12 AM" means noon or midnight (we're still sticking with midnight), it's been more challenging than we realized to tell people when exactly our game will be available. Factor in the Earth rotating around the sun, daylight savings time, some of our fans insisting on using the Mayan calendar, and we're just going to try and make this as specific as possible:

When L4D2 will go live:

* Monday, November 16th, 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time

* Monday, November 16th, 10:00 PM Mountain Standard Time

* Monday, November 16th, 11:00 PM Central Standard Time

* Tuesday, November 17th, 12:00 AM (midnight) Eastern Standard Time

* Tuesday, November 17th, 5:00 AM Greenwich Mean Time

* Tuesday, November 17th, 8:00 AM Moscow Time

* Tuesday, November 17th, 2:00 PM Japan Standard Time

Also, if you were interested in learning a bit more about the Survivors you'll be playing as this Tuesday(ish), check out our Survivor pages for Nick, Ellis, Coach and Rochelle with character, weapon and item details.

It's most likely something last minute cropped up that delayed release. As you mentioned, it's really simple to have it released automatically if they wanted.

This exact same crap happened with the demo, they should learn to have an at least semi on time release for once. All we need is a goddammn 128 encryption key.

I think you missed my point. :) There must be a last minute issue they found which is why they're intentionally holding the release until they're satisfied.

There have been a few posts on the Steam forums claiming that a dev said that there was a bug that they think is fixed but they are testing it to be sure. This does seem a bit last-minute for this type of thing...

From the community chat:

mikeblas: We've found a crashing bug at the last moment.

mikeblas: We think it's fixed, but aren't sure, and are testing.

mikeblas: We'll release the game when we're sure we have a fix.

Good morning and... Oh look, no surprises here. *Goes and gets some coffee*

No, but seriously - id be worried if it unlocked at midnight as it was promised. Gotta stay true to traditions.

True that. Why break such an awesome trackrecord when it comes to releases on time? :)

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
